The atom CPU has pretty crappy performance. At 1.6 GHz performance is somewhere between a 900MHz Celeron-M and 1.13 Pentium 3-M. It's also single-core. It would probably work, but it could be CPU bound on writes, especially if compression is enabled. If performance is important, a cheap 2.3GHz dual core AMD and motherboard costs $95 vs. a 1.6GHz Atom & motherboard for $75. An embedded system using ZFS and the Atom could easily compete on price and performance with something like the Infrant ReadyNAS. Being able to increase the stripe width of raidz would help, too. > - in the case > http://www.chenbro.com/corporatesite/products_detail.php?serno=100 Someone tried to use this case and posted about it. The hotswap backplane in it didn't work so they had to modify the case to plug the drives directly to the motherboard. http://blog.flowbuzz.com/search/label/NAS -B -- Brandon High [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The good is the enemy of the best." - Nietzsche _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
